For the second straight year, the City of Great Bend will use Circle C Paving to chip and seal with a fog seal top coating on residential streets on approximately 100 blocks. Public Works Director Jason Cauley said the majority of the work will be around the Hubbard and Holland street area.

City Council approved the lone bid for the project but asked Cauley if a
supervisor can look over the streets to make sure potholes are filled before Circle
C seals the roads.
"This is our second year of doing this, so we're still kind of in that experimental phase," said Cauley. "The streets that we crack seal, those are the ones that we chip and seal later. We can add that whenever we're crack sealing and address those issues."
The bid from Circle C for the chip and seal project cost $308,100 and was
budgeted in the ¼ cent sales tax fund. Cauley expected the project to begin at
the end of July or early August.
